Biscoff Brownies!
*This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more details!*
Super chocolatey chocolate chip brownies swirled with Biscoff cookie butter spread making the BEST Biscoff brownies EVER!
Biscoff
Cookie butter (Aka Biscoff) is a delightful treat, that is so seriously addictive if you like it I wonder whats actually in it some times – how can something be THAT good?! However, if you’re not a fan, thats not a problem, there are plenty of other flavours and spreads out there that you can use instead!
The other day I saw a glorious post on Buzzfeed about cookie butter brownies – and my god did this make me crave some! I seriously had to have a go at it with one of my own brownie recipes and it did not disappoint!
Brownies
Brownies, as you may have already read on my blog, are one of my favourite things to eat & bake. They are chocolatey, gooey, fudgey, and perfect (especially when you warm them up in the microwave and add a dollop of ice-cream!).
I have had quite a few recipes that have been a brownie related success now such as my Terry’s chocolate orange brownies, and my millionaires brownies, and these beauties will be no different. Honestly? They’ve been mentioned to be the best bake I have ever made by my taste testers!
The brownie recipe I use in this recipe is the same recipe that I use in my triple chocolate brownies as they worked so well being swirled with another flavour that it seemed appropriate to use it again! Just add in a rather insane amount of Biscoff spread and Biscoff biscuits and you have a winner.
Biscoff spread
Originally, I was skeptical about baking Biscoff into anything, but when you put heaped teaspoons of the spread into the brownies, and just bake it like that… its INSANE. I find that if you mix the spread in too much, the flavour doesn’t come through… but this way is just magical.
You can use either the smooth Biscoff Spread, or the Crunchy version, but they both work in the same way. I then fold through some Biscoff Biscuits, which even though they go a wee smidge ‘soggy’ you could say, they still make sure that they flavour comes through well.
Chocolate
With some chocolate chips of your choice (I tend to use milk chocolate) you make sure you still get some melted chocolatey bits in each Brownie – but the Biscoff definitely takes centre stage here. Look at the little pockets of Biscoff in each brownie… HEAVEN IN A BITE!
Seriously though… Biscoff + brownies = YESYESYES.
Recipe Updated August 2017
Biscoff Brownies!
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 4 medium eggs (or 3 large)
- 275 g caster sugar (white or golden)
- 90 g plain flour
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 200 g chocolate chips
- 150 g Lotus Biscoff biscuits (chopped)
- 1/2-3/4 jar Biscoff spread
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a 9x9" square tin with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate with the butter and leave to cools lightly whilst you make the rest of the brownies!
- Whisk together the eggs and sugar until really thick and mousse like - it will double in volume, be a lot paler, and leave a trail for a couple of seconds before disappearing when done!
- Fold the chocolate/butter mix into the eggs/sugar mix carefully - don't deflate the eggs by being careless!
- Add in the plain flour and cocoa powder, and fold that in as well.
- Add in the chocolate chips and Biscoff biscuits, fold through, and pour into the tin.
- Using two teaspoons, spoon dollops of Biscoff spread onto the top of the brownies - I do about 15 or so dollops!
- Bake the brownies in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until baked through. I tend to check them after 25 minutes as some ovens are hotter than others!
- Leave the brownies to cool fully in the tin!
Notes
- You can find the Biscoff spread with the Nutellas/jams in supermarkets!
- This recipe would work well with Nutella or peanut butter in place of the Biscoff spread if you preferred!
- These will lasting an airtight container for 4-5 days!
- If they are still gooey after the time, bake for a further few minutes and then leave to cool fully. Refrigerate before cutting to make it easier!
- If your brownies are taking an endless amount of time to bake - the mixture was probably over mixed, or not moussey enough.
- Do NOT use milk chocolate in place of the dark - it doesn't taste too dark, it just really helps bake the perfect brownies!
Enjoy!!

Hi Jane,
Could I use Coconut flour in this recipe?
Thank you!
Lou
Hi,
These look so good! I want to make these tonight but give them to my friend tomorrow. Would you recommend baking them tonight or pre-mixing it tonight then baking it tomorrow?
Hiya! I would always bake as soon as you mix for the best results! Hope this helps! x
Hi Jane,
Could I substitute pistachio spread in place of lotus?
Hiya! I personally have not tried this, however it’s worth a go! Enjoy! x
Hi Jane! Would love to try this recipe! 🙂 Could you please tell me do you bake your brownies with fan or just standard? Thank you! xx
Hiya! I always use a fan oven! Hope this helps x
Hi Jane,
Can these be frozen? I tend to put the Biscoff on as a topping and top with a biscuit…would this make a difference if freezing?
These can be frozen for up to 3 months! Hope this helps! x
Hi Jane,
Could I use the crunchy biscoff spread? Or does it have to be smooth spread?
Thanks
Yes absolutely you can! Enjoy! x
Omg! I made these last night and they are amazing! I love your recipes so much! And your book ☺️ Thank you. Can these brownies been warmed back up? And how long for ?
Thank you x

Could I swop biscoff spread for crunchy peanut butter?
Hi Jane. I was wondering if using stork instead of butter would work with these brownies. I don’t want to ruin the deliciousness of them! Your recipes are fantastic by the way!
You can use stork for brownies!!
The best brownies I have ever made – moist, fudgey and rich.
Never been let down by one of your recipes – thank you Jane!
My friends and colleagues absolutely loved them – everyone at work will need to loosen their belts soon if I keep bringing in your bakes 😂🙊
Hey Jane, I’ve made so many of your recipes and they’re always amazing! Thank you!
I wanted to know if I doubled the recipe what size tin would I use ? And how much longer should I bake?
There’s never enough for my family when I make one batch 😩
Hey Jane, I’ve made these so many times now and are an ultimate favourite of our family. BUT bake fail – I’ve just made a batch and realised I’ve left out the cocoa powder how will this effect them? The Whole family loves your recipes.
hi Jayne,
I love all your recipes, but would it make a huge difference if I used salted butter instead of unsalted? I have loads of anchor salted butter but just wondering if it made a difference to the bake?
The only difference it will have is taste! x
I want to ask that if I replace biscoff spread with Nutella then,….how I would replace the biscoff cookies? with choco chips or what?
You can use some more chocolate chips, or just leave it out!
Can you provide the calorie content please?
Hiya sorry one more question. If I wanted to make bake this in 6inch square tin can I just divide recipe by 0.44? As this will account for the volume. Thanks
Hi Jane! Just wanted to know if I wanted to make this one and your creme egg one in the same tin. How could I alter the flour and cocoa powder amounts. This one is 90 and 35. Whereas the Cadbury creme egg is 100 and 50. Xx
Loved these! They were so tasty I can’t wait to make them again!
Thank you so much, I am so glad you loved them!x
Hi Jane love ur recipes. Can I use stork in stead of a block of butter? Xx
Yes you can!
Hi Jane
I made these last weekend – came out amazing. In your notes you said that this brownie base could work with Nutella/Peanut butter, if I was to replace Biscoff with either of them, how much would you recommend i use?
Many thanks
I would just replace with the same weight, or less – but not more! x
I absolutely love this recipe. That much in want to make a bigger square. What quantity of recipe would you recommend for 12×12 inch tin and what cooking time
Thanks x
Honestly I have no idea – I would personally stick to the tin and recipe, but make two!
Is there any chance I could use self raising flour instead of plain flour? Thank you x
You can, but generally I find raising agents should be avoided in this sort of brownie! x
Very nice simple brownie recipe and easily made vegan 🙂 I subbed the butter for vegan butter and used vegan chocolate!! I would recommend to use a skewer or knife and swirl the biscoff for a cooler look
Hey Zoe – what did you use for the eggs substitute? Xx
What did you use instead of eggs to make the recipe vegan?
sh e maybe used a flax egg perhaps=- basically flax seed and warm water- leave for a few minutes and it starts to take on an eggy type texture! x
Delicious as always!
Love these taste so good. If I was to do a ten inch tray how much more would I need.
Thank you.
I would add another quarter of the recipe – they will also take longer to bake! X
The best thing I’ve ever eaten! These brownies are absolutely amazing. So rich and full of flavour.
Deliciously indulgent. They took about 40mins to bake probably as there was quite a lot of mixture, ended up being quite “deep” brownies which maybe why it took 40mins. I didn’t use the full quanitity of choc chips or biscoff and they were still VERY indulgent. If I made them again I would probably just do the biscoff topping for decoration. Don’t think it needs the biscuits and 150g choc chips but still very tasty!
Hi Jane
Just made these, but the biscoff spread in top is still quite wet will it set after a few hours. Cant wait to try they smell awesome. Thank you lynn
hey a very hot recipe!!
Can i like make the batter ready a day or 2 before baking and pop it in the fridge, covered and then bake it in a day or 2
No, you need to bake it fresh!
Thank you Jane. Another recipe success, I love the Terry’s orange brownies as well. I added chopped Cadbury Caramilk instead of choc chips. I couldn’t help myself, and It was oh sooo good.
How much biscoff do you use in the recipe? i have a larger tub so i think the measurements are different.
200-300g! x
hi,
I want to bake these tonight, can i melt the lotus spread and pour it over the brownies instead of having dollops, as i want to give it a marble effect with the toothpick?
You can do, just don’t swirl it too much otherwise it can disappear slightly!
Can these be frozen after baking? if so, what is your guidance for this?
Yes they can – and generally the recommended is up to three months!
did you use milk choc chips or dark chips?
I’m making these tomorrow for my cousins birthday and I can not wait! All of your recipes are so easy to follow and delicious.
In general, how do you know when brownies are cooked enough so that they’re gooey but not raw?
I find cookies super easy because they solidify quickly after cooking but I’m never as confident with brownies and have taken them out too early before and ended up with a liquid centre 🙁
Is there a trick for know when it’s just right? Xx
I generally say that if you aren’t sure, you can shove the brownies in the fridge for a few hours once they have cooled and they firm up! If they don’t and stay too gooey, they are under done. There should be a slight wobble to the tin when they come out of the oven x
Thanks for your reply yesterday, I only have 8 inch tins. How much long would these need to be cooked for.
I’m unsure I’m afraid as I only bake them into 9″ tins!
I’m planning to make these at the weekend and replace the biscoff with peanut butter as mentioned. If I change this am I best to just leave the biscuits out or should I replace them with something else?
Thank you
Yes you can, and just leave the biscuits out!
Hi, I’m planning on making these tomorrow but going to replace the biscoff with salted caramel spread. I wanted to top the brownie with some Flipz salted caramel pretzels.. would I put them on the top before I put them in the oven? Thanks!
I would put the flipz on just after you taking the out personally!
I’ve made these brownies a few times and they never fail me! They’ve really become a household favourite. What a great recipe. So yummy and decadent!
Hi Jane,
How long should I be whisking for? I’m using an electric hand whisk. It’s not very moussey. I used 4 medium eggs, it seems very liquidy…
Thanks!
Clare
It really depends – electric whisks vary so much, but it needs to double in volume and leave a trail for a couple of seconds x
Love all of your recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite!!
Hi Jane,
What are your thoughts on if i make your triple chocolate brownie recipe, cool and set etc. and then just spreading biscoff spread on top instead of baking it in, so it is like a frosting? I want to try this but i don’t know if it would be an odd thing to do?
Thank you : )
You can do! As long as you don’t melt the biscoff down, it should be fine as it’s thick!
Hey I absolutely love the recipe. But I want to gift it to a friend who does not eat eggs. So can eggs be replaced with anything in this recipe?
I would follow my vegan brownie recipe and add biscoff to that!
Amazing brownies! So delicious and easy to make!
Thank you!! x
Hi Jane can I use self raising flour instead ??
Yes, it can just eeeever so slightly change the texture x
Hi Jane!
Loving everything you do!! Just wondering, with this recipe, do you just dollop the biscoff spread on the top and pop in the oven? Or do you swirl the spread into the brownie mixture?
Thanks!
Jo
You can dollop or swirl, or a bit of both – I usually do a bit of both personally! Xx
Hi! Should you bake with chopped biscuits on top after doing the dollops of biscoff? I’ve made these twice now, I noticed it doesn’t say to do this but the video shows to put biscuits on top before putting in the oven
Your recipes are amazing we’ve baked toblerone, Terrys choc orange, mars bar, biscoff and malteser brownies this year! And the rolo tart xx
Yes so the biscuits is completely optional, I just did it that time in the video because I fancied it!! xx
Hello Jane love your brownie recipes. I was wondering if they can be frozen. If so how would you advice. Thank you 😊
Yes they definitely can!! x
Hi Jane
I’m having trouble finding biscoff biscuits but really want to make these brownies. Could I leave the biscuits out and if I did would the rest of the recipe remain unchanged?
Thanks
Yes that would be fine! X
If u love near a Poundland shop, they sell them 😊
Hi I tried out your recipe! Everything was great the colour, texture, gooeyness all except the fact that it’s way too sweet ESP after you add the lotus Biscoff spread, and chocolate chips into the mixture. So I think maybe you should mention that on the recipe for those who don’t like ultra sweet desserts to reduce the sugar quantity by at least 20%.
Unfortunately, I won’t write on recipes somethings like that as everyone’s tastes are different – I don’t find this one that sweet at all. Sorry! Also, if you reduce the sugar, you can change how the bake works because of the chemistry but that’s your own decision x
[…] Biscoff Brownies! […]
Hey, amazing recipe, can this be made in a Biscoff cookie bar version?
It’s on my list to do!
I only have an 8×8 tin. How long should I bake it for if I use the same quantity of mixture?
The baking time will increase, not 100% sure how long – but the volume is deeper so probably at least 5-10 minutes!
This was super delicious! Reduced the sugar to 240 grams, but it was still a tad too sweet for me.
Is it okay to leave out the milk chocolate chips?
Oh yes definitely – it just makes it more chocolatey is all!
Hi. For 6 x 6 inch pan, how do I reduce the ingredients in the recipe ?
6″ square is about 0.4x the recipe, so a bit under half the recipe! x
Best brownies I’ve ever had 10/10 🤩🤤
This recipe is amazing!! Made for Father’s Day and my parents love it! Thank you 😊
This recipe is so good, these went down so well!
Could I use carnations caramel to replace the spread? I bought 2 tins in excitement when I saw them available, now I have no idea what to do! And I love brownies! Thanks 🙂
Hiya! Ahh yay! And you definitely could do but you won’t need an entire tin of the caramel! x
Gooey delicious and so chocolatey. I tried the biscoff blondies previously But these brownies blew them out of the water! I am a brownie lover anyway but this recipe was amazing and the guidance is great, particularly on oven timings- I had to keep checking after 25mins as they took longer than I expected but fairly sure I took them out at the right time. Great recipe thank you 🙂
Hello just wondering why you cant use milk chocolate. None of us like dark chocolate at all. even the slight taste of it. does it not work with milk chocolate? or even half and half to try it? thanks
Hiya – so you really really really don’t want to use milk. The brownies don’t taste of dark chocolate, it honestly just makes the right texture and flavour for a brownie. Milk chocolate has far too low a cocoa content, they don’t bake as well, and they don’t taste as good!
Hello,
My mixture is taking ages to bake, is there anyway to save it? Thanks!
This can happen due to swapping ingredients, or having a dodgy oven temp, or not mixing correctly – the best thing to do is to take it out, let it cool, and then ‘set’ them in the fridge for a couple of hours!
If you cant find Caster Sugar
Would you suggest using granulated sugar or light brown sugar? X
Light brown sugar would be my choice! x
Just made these and they smell delicious 😋 I must admit I’m not sure if they have cooked properly but they do have a nice crust on the top but gooey in the middle.
Ahh yay! If you’re unsure – simply ‘set’ them in the fridge for a couple of hours before cutting and they’ll be perfect!
May I asked, can I use 8×8 inch pan for this recipe?
Theres a big risk in using a smaller tin that the middle of the brownie won’t bake well, but it might be okay!
Hi Jane
I had 2 question –
1 – i want to use 9”x 13” I want rectangle shape brownies which aren’t so high – would I need to x1.5 This recipe or x2 it?
2- did you use stork Or butter in this recipe?
I would use 1.5x the recipe – and you can use either! I make my brownies using either all the time!
Hi Jane, if I’m using a 9”x11” do I also x1.5 this recipe? Making this for Father’s Day tmr. Can’t wait to see the end result! 🙂
9×11″ is about 1.2x the recipe, so maybe adding on another quarter of mix will be easier! Baking time will also increase x
Thank you for your prompt response! Noted on that. May I know how long should I bake these if I were to x 1.2 the recipe?
I’m unsure as I never bake these in that size tin!
Ah sorry you mentioned adding a quarter would be easier. I’ll add in a quarter to the recipe then. May I know what would be the baking time for x1.25 to the recipe? 😊 thank you!
Perfect recipe!!!
Are we able to freeze the brownies, Jane?
Yes you can!! x
Hi, if I was to make half the amount off the recipe what size tin would you suggest?
About a 7″ square! x
Delicious! I had left in for 35 mins but could have done for slightly longer… but gooey brownies are still yummy! Definitely recommend trying these
Made these today to kick off my boyfriend’s birthday week and they are absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I didn’t have chocolate chips so added some mini eggs instead! So yummy ☺️
Hey Jane!
Would it be ok to half this mixture?
Cant decide if i want to make the blondies or brownies so i might just make both! lol.
If you are planning on baking the two into the same tin, then yes! If you want to literally do half, you will need to shrink the tin size to about a 7″ square!
hi! if i use peanut butter instead of biscoff is there anything you would recommend instead of the biscoff biscuits
Hi Jane would this work using a round tin? & if so what size? I only have a 8″ square 😔x
Typically a square tin, is equal to a round tin but 1″ bigger. So a 9″ square = 10″ round. You can try an 8″ square, but they will take longer to bake because of the depth! X
Made these during lockdown 2020- absolutely amazing! I didn’t have enough biscoff biscuits but used what I had and it was still delicious! I also cut them into 12 just based on size preference.
I love your recipes Jane, especially your brownies as they are so easy and taste absolutely divine!!! If I have an event to go to where I say I will bake or it’s someone birthday, your brownies are my go to as I know they will be insanely good and you have so many different flavours there is always something to suit the recipient!
Did you mix the spread into the mix?
You can lightly swirl it in, or dollop!
Simply delicious! If you bake any brownies make sure it’s these ones! 😋
These are the best brownies I have ever had, no question about it! Thank you for this amazing recipe!
The most AMAZING brownies ever! This far my favourite recipe and my go-to if I want to bake brownies!
Made these for a birthday and they were AMAZING!🖤
Hi Jane! Loving all your recipes! Every single one I’ve done has come out perfect so can’t wait to try these. Sorry if this is a dumb question but would you suggest using dark or milk chocolate chips? I made the Mars Bar brownie the other week and that was milk choc chips so just wanted to confirm. Thank you so much for all your amazing recipes – they are making lockdown so much brighter! Xx
For the chocolate chips that you fold through the brownie batter, you can use whatever flavour you fancy! You just need to use the dark chocolate still for the batter!
Hi Jane, these brownies are so lovely! I made them once and they came out better than the second time I use a electric whisk to add in the flour as I was in a hurry! Just wanted to ask if it still wobbles should I leave it in there? I had to bake it’s for 45 minutes but it’s reli cake like and I preferred the goey texture from the first time I tried it!
As mentioned several times on the post, you really should fold the flour in. It doesn’t make it any quicker using a mixer as the folding takes so little time. For a brownie to be cakey, you have over baked and probably also over mixed.
Hi, I want to make this recipe this week but just wanted to know, do you need to sieve the flour and cocoa powder? Thank you
I don’t bother personally with brownies!
Hi, I’ve been following your brownie recipes for as long as I can remember and have all turned out absolutely amazing! This week I took the leap and decided to open my cake business. I’ve had a few orders for some brownies and there going so wrong! There turning cakey and dark! They don’t have the nice crust on them and the smell and taste of dark chocolate is very strong!! Where am I going wrong?? Please help!!
Have you changed aaaanything about how you are baking them such as ingredients/tins/etc? If they worked before it indicates that something has changed!
Hi ya
Great recipe!!
Could I do different flavour dollops in one bake? For instance some peanut butter, some biscoff?
Thanks xx
Yes you can!! X
[…] You can find the recipe for Biscoff Brownies here. […]

Hi Just wondering what could reduce the sugar quantity to not to ruin the recipe and what type of chocolate chips to use.
I would advise to not reduce the sugar, it won’t bake the same at all. And I use callebaut!
Made these for my work colleagues and I have never gotten so many compliments on my baking before!! They went down a treat, so many people have asked me for the recipe! Amazing
Ahh that’s amazing!!
Thank you for the recipe we are trying it out as we speak! Into the oven.
Do you use a electric whisk?
Thank you! Shan & Chris xx
Yes, only for the eggs and sugar – you should then fold the rest as the recipe says!
First time making these, have made so many of your recipes and I love them all.
This. This had me drooling before I’d even put it in the oven!! Took about 45mins in my oven, well worth it though. Scrumdipplyumptious!! 😍
Could you add biscoff in the same way to your vegan brownie recipe?
I have made these many times now and I have not found anyone who doesn’t love them. I have used them as bribery to get busy colleagues to do things for me and it worked a treat! People actually come running in the office when they hear I’ve mad some. It’s hard to describe just how sublime they are!!
Personally I have to cook them for about 40 minutes to get the middle past raw but that could be my oven.
[…] I’ve only gone and done it, I’ve baked this little bad boys and still drooling with the afterthought. Technically, I’m not the first person to have taken on the Italian biscuit Brand and turned it into a fudge chocolate brownie, thanks to the likes of Forever Baking, Candice Brown and Jane’s Patisserie. […]
Hi jane! Love this recipe! It i double the quantities is that
Ok? And then bake it in a larger tin.. maybe rectangle?
Thank you
You should use a traybake tin such as a 9×13″ for example! x
How long do you bake for double quantity?
It depends entirely on the size of your tin – it’s best to split into two 9″tins in my opinion.
Can you freeze them?
Yes!
They didn’t make the freezer! The response from amazing, making them again tonight, Thanks x
Hi, which of two spreads is the best? Crunchy or smooth? Have you tried using both and could you tell me the diff it makes to the brownies. thanks
Honestly it makes no difference to the brownies, whichever you want will work!
Oh thanks I’ll make these tomorrow. I’ve made so many of your things and could I be super cheeky and ask for some galaxy recipes 😍
I can definitely do that – I loooove galaxy!!
I love. Skint and am passionate about it. Love trying new recipes to perfect my own and yours are great. Thanks
I love baking myself and always like trying new recipes out to perfect my own skills. Your recipes are great. I love them. Thank you x
Hi Jane do you think the recipe would work if I used peanut butter and mini dresses PB cups inside? Thanks!
I wish I have these heavenly bars in front of me!! These sound so amazing, Jane!
Ohh thank you so much!! 😀
Yummm! These look delicious!!
Thanks!! 🙂
These look delicious! I’ll be giving these a go next weekend!
Thank you! And yes please do!! 🙂
Thank you! And please do!! 🙂

Its the perfect combination isn’t it!! 🙂
